In an attempt to clarify who is saying what, and why, I will examine the origins and initial purpose of C18, the role (if any) of alleged state agents within it, and accounts of its current status and purpose. The interpretations examined are those of C18 themselves, the British National Party (BNP) and others on ...

The Home Affairs Committee asked to question the head of MI5; the Home Secretary, Teresa May, duly refused on the grounds that his appearance would 'duplicate' the existing oversight provided by the Intelligence and Security Committee. Thus the beauty of the ISC from the state's perspective: it provides the appearance of ...

... new genre of 'cyberpunk' fiction. It was ten years ago that establishment liberal David Burnham wrote The Rise of the Computer State with Ford, Rockefeller, and Aspen Institute money. This book ignored microprocessing and limited its nightmarish vision to the dangers posed by Big Brother's mainframes. One chapter covered the threat posed by the National Security Agency (NSA), the largest U.S. intelligence agency with the world's best computers, an agency that is not subjected to any oversight. In the mid-1970s the Senate Intelligence Committee headed by Frank Church warned that 'if not properly controlled,' the NSA's technology 'could be turned against the American people at a great cost to liberty.' For thirty ...

... U.S. government investigation into Oswald's activities in Japan following his 1959 defection to Russia. In part two, I will argue that Oswald's story must be seen at a minimum in the context of an even more striking espionage affair, the defection to Moscow in the summer of 1960 of Bernon Mitchell and William Martin, former National Security Agency (NSA) officials, both of whom had earlier served in different posts in Japan in the mid-1950s and at Atsugi in particular.

Part one Queen Bee ...

It bluntly advises: 'The European Parliament should reject proposals from the United States for making private messages via the global communications network (Internet) accessible to US intelligence agencies.' The report also urges a fundamental review of the involvement of the American NSA (National Security Agency) in Europe, suggesting that their activities be either scaled down, or become more open and accountable. Such concerns have been privately expressed by governments and MEPs since the Cold War, but surveillance has continued to expand. US intelligence activity in Britain has enjoyed a steady growth throughout the past two decades. The ...

It was soon revealed (and confirmed years later in Alvin Snyder's 1995 book, Warriors of Disinformation), that the first official transcript of Soviet air-to-ground communications distributed by our National Security Agency (NSA) had been purged of the Soviet fighter pilot's declaration to his controller, 'Now I will try my cannons [to attract their attention].'
